SGDK Best Practices

Make the important contracts visible: ranges, units, ownership, lifetime and failure behavior. Preserve the game's existing architecture and creative direction. These are implementation patterns, not a new engine or style guide.

Treat Labs as optional evidence for a specific technique. Explain the contract being reused and adapt it to the game; do not inherit a Lab's controls, progression, scene flow or module layout merely because working code exists. Whole-game copying is appropriate only when the developer asks for it.
